Geoff Rickley (vocals):
1. Bright Eyes- "Digital Ash" and "I'm Wide Awake"
(One of the best songwriters around drops two incredible records)
2. The Number 12 Looks Like You- nuclearsadnuclear
(The return of underground spaz... most creative record I've heard since Envy's "A Dead Sinking Story")
3. Blood Brothers- Crimes
(You just can't fuck with the brothers...)
4.The Blackout Pact- Hello Sailor
(Just because I produced it doesn't mean I can't love it. Reminds me of all the reasons I love... dirty people)
5. A Silver Mt. Zion- Horses in the Sky
(Godspeedyou!blackemperors side project takes on politics and heals it's country)
6. Sleater-Kinney- The Woods
(Cock-Rock played by feminists-- and it RULES!!)
7. The Valley Arena- Take Comfort in Strangers
(Just 'cause I put it out doesn't mean I can't love it-- Drive Like Jehu and Q and not U had a beautiful baby!!)
8. Minus the bear- menos el oso
(Still "just kickin' it like a wild donkey")
9. Say Anything- ...Is a Real Boy (Reissue)
(Max is a wildly brilliant song writer-- it's like The Replacements covering Jem and the Misfits songs)
10.the Mars Volta- Frances the Mute
(This record is worth it for the first song alone. mind blowing)
